swlotrgirl Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Any Diana Wynne Jones fans? (She wrote the book Howl's Moving Castle.) She was actually my favorite fantasy author before I discovered Brandon Sanderson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honorless Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 I'll need a reread before I can participate in any discussion regarding the trilogy, I'm afraid 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rask Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 I love Howl's Moving Castle and its sequels. How do people feel about the Anime adaptation by Studio Ghibli? I like the movie but unfortunately I've never been able to get much into Anime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swlotrgirl Posted December 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 @Ookla the Prolific, I haven't read that one yet, but I'm planning on reading it after I finish the book I'm currently reading. @Rask I love both the book and the movie. I watched the movie before I read the book, so I think that's why I don't mind how different they are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebus Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 I signed up here in order to reply. DWJ has been a favourite author for me all my reading life. Borrowing her books from the library as a child is what got me hooked on reading. Her novel Fire and Hemlock remains one of my all time favourites, subtle and deep, magical and mythical. I reread it recently for the first time in many years and it holds up so well. I'd recommend it to anyone (and often do). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snorkel Posted April 28, 2020 Report Share Posted April 28, 2020 I was given The Merlin Conspiracy for Christmas one year. Such a fun book! Surprising gift, the people who gifted it hadn't read it and didn't know much about it, so no idea how they picked it, but it was really great! I found Deep Secret, the book that it's sequel to, and was surprised at how different it was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snakenaps Posted April 30, 2020 Report Share Posted April 30, 2020 My first book by her was Dogsbody, which I picked up at an airport during a layover years ago. I inhaled it during that long delay! I should reread it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trutharchivist Posted September 2, 2020 Report Share Posted September 2, 2020 I've read and liked some of her books - not sure I can call myself a fan, though. I haven't found yet an opportunity to read most of her books. Of the ones I read, though, I probably liked the Homeward Bounders and Archer's goon the most. Haven't read Dark Lord of Derkholm, Deep Secret or Dogsboy, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trutharchivist Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 This thread must be revived! Crimes so far: thread necromancy, double posting. I have, since the last time I posted here, read both Deep Secret and the Merlin Conspiracy - both great books, especially the first. I've also read Dark Lord of Derkholm, Tough Guide to Fantasyland, Fire and Hemlock, Time of the Ghost, the entire Worlds of Chrestomancy series and Hexwood. And a few others. Any other DWJ fan who's still active? Like @Robin Sedai, maybe? (Sorry for randomly tagging you.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Sedai Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Hello! Am alive (as far as I know.) Love her books. My favourites are probably Dogsbody, Howl's Moving Castle, Witch Week, Fire and Hemlock... I give up on trying to name all of them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
